Booz Allen Announces 13 New Women of Color STEM Awardees

While job market demand for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) talent continues to grow, women and minorities remain underrepresented in STEM fields. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, women hold less than 24 percent of U.S.-based positions in STEM fields. The disparity is even greater for women of color

Thirteen Booz Allen employees working in health, aerospace, corporate affairs, and beyond received the Women of Color (WoC) STEM Awards at the annual Women of Color STEM Conference on October 11–13 in Detroit, Michigan.

The Women of Color STEM Awards recognize women in science, technology, engineering, and math who create, innovate, and inspire. More than 250 Booz Allen employees have been honored with Women of Color in STEM awards since 2004.
